AN ACCOUNT OF THE RISE, PROGRESS, AND DECREASE OF THE PLAGUE That ravaged Barhary in 1799; FAITHFULLY EXTRACTED FROM LETTERS WRITTEN BY THE HOUSE OF JAMES JACKSON AND CO., OR BY JAMES G. JACKSON, MERCHANTS AT MOGODOR, TO THEIR CORRESPONDENTS IN EUROPE, DURING THE EPIDEMY.

Fragments respecting the Plague, When the Emperor's army proceeded from Fas to Marocco in the summer of 1799, a detachment of which passed by Mogodor, consisting of 20,000 horse and 10,000 foot, it had the plague with it ; so that, wherever it passed, the plague uniformly appeared three days after its arrival at the respective douars near which it encamped; those who died were buried in the tents, and the people of the provinces knew little about it.

A large akhahay consisting of upwards of 1700 camels, arrived 23d August, 1799, at Akka * An akkaha is an accumulated caravan.
